Multizone LAN control

Developing with LIFX
#1 
 I've learned how to create packets to turn on/off and set color to my lights/bulbs (in python3).  I cannot figure out for the life of me how to craft a packet to control multi-zones individually on a Z strip. 
 Please give me just a little hint .

Here’s an example packet that I created to change the Z strips color;
3100 0014 00000000 d073d5???0000 000000000000 00 00 0000000000000000 6600 0000 00 b600 ffff 6626 0000 00000000.

What do I change to make it just change a single zone?

For that you’ll need a SetColorZones packet

So if you want to set zone 10, then you’d set start_index and end_index to 10

For example:

3300001401000000d073d5000000000000000000000002010000000000000000f50100000a0a1c47ffffff7fac0de803000001

size           : 51
protocol       : 1024
addressable    : True
tagged         : False
reserved1      : b'\x00'
source         : 1
target         : b'\xd0s\xd5\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
reserved2      : b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
res_required   : False
ack_required   : True
reserved3      : b'\x00'
sequence       : 1
reserved4      : b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
pkt_type       : 501
reserved5      : b'\x00\x00'
start_index    : 10
end_index      : 10
hue            : 18204
saturation     : 65535
brightness     : 32767
kelvin         : 3500
duration       : 1000
apply          : 1

Thank you Delfick, This is EXACTLY the hint that I needed. I was close but your example showed me what I was missing.
